ERC Consolidator grants for TU Delft researchers

ERC Consolidator grants are part of the EU’s current research and innovation programme, Horizon 2020, and worth in total €655 million. The ERC Consolidator Grants are awarded to outstanding researchers of any nationality and age, with at least seven and up to twelve years of experience after PhD, and a scientific track record showing great promise. Research must be conducted in a public or private research organisation located in one of the EU Member States or “Associated” Countries. The funding – up to €2 million per grant, plus in some cases an additional €1 million for start-up costs – is provided for up to five years and mostly covers the employment of researchers and other staff to consolidate the grantees’ teams.
